A Washington Park man has been charged in the June stabbing death of a man at his South Side home, police said.

Terrance Anderson, 26, is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying in the 1000 block of West Garfield Boulevard, according to police. Aaron Knox, 29, who lived at the address of the attack, was stabbed about 9:30 p.m. June 27 in a hallway of the small apartment building where he lived and was declared dead at 4:06 a.m. the next morning, authorities said.

The victim was with another person he knew and got into a dispute that escalated into a fight outside the home, police said at the time. The other person went into the home, retrieved a kitchen knife, and stabbed the victim, police said.

Knox was discovered by emergency crews at the bottom of the home's front steps, police said.

An autopsy following Anderson's death at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County determined he died from multiple stab wounds, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Anderson, of the 5600 block of South Michigan Avenue, was arrested today and is scheduled to appear in Cook County Bond Court on Sunday, according to police.
